  15. I have just ordered some "red wiggler" worms for use in an indoor composter.
  16. (Indoor composting was discussed on rec.gardens recently.)  Can I feed these
  17. to my fresh-water angel fish?  They are supposed to be smaller than garden
  18. worms, which sounds good, but I'd hate to give my fish indigestion or disease.
  19. I read somewhere that tubifex worms can constipate fish, if you feed too 
  20. heavily.  Does anyone have any experience feeding red worms to fish?
